TelsZ4 Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Why don’t you call one or more of the propane trucks and ask.. I don’t think anyone on this board sells propane... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Liu Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I’d like to know too, if anyone is kind enough to share. You do buy propane, don’t you? That’s the real price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 The last time I bought propane was Dec. 31st of 2019. The price was 10.79 pesos per litre. If you want a CURRENT price, please call any of the propane companies. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Liu Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I just want to understand what’s the propane price down there. Not really into buying right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why don't you click on the link that was posted upthread and find out for yourself? The price changes all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Liu Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I did. It’s a Facebook link, and I don’t use it. I thought I’d be glad to share if I do know the price of propane. Forgot that everyone was once a newbie?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 There was nothing on the Facebook link that I could find about pricing. In general, I think it's not so much about the price but the honesty of the guys putting it in the tank. Some are charlatans. We all have our favourites but mine is Javier with Los Altoss. I call him and he or one of his sons arrives promptly. There is always a Los Altoss truck hanging about my street usually parked in the shade with the driver snoozing. I NEVER use him because he's a cheat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't live Lakeside, and don't know if the cost of propane varies in different areas, but I use the cylinders, not a stationary tank, and I just paid almost 700 pesos for a cylinder. But not sure how many litres the big cylinders are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcstroker Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 How timely! Just got gas about 5 minutes ago. Zeta Gas. 12.66/lt. Back in January it was 10.81/lt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 It seems to vary by the day and who you get the service from. Also some folks quote that they have obtained at "X" price but did not figure in the added tax..Then there other's who get cheated and the price bears no resemblance to the actual price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubilacion Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Two weeks ago in Tlachichilco $12.70 MX/liter. Keeps creeping up due to what I read was RV craze in the States - motor homes and trailers - needing the fuel for cooking. And of course Mexico gets 60% of its propane from the US. Google it.

I've read that propane had a large run up in cost due to Covid restrictions at bars/restaurants. A lot of NOB establishments have tried to keep as many customers as possible by using propane heaters on their outdoor patios. Don't know if there are numbers to prove that or not??

RickS Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Although there are a lot of folks using RVs these days... and the Industry had a bumper sales year.... I doubt that this fact is driving up the International price of propane. Propane prices are generally stable, rising some each year. Propane can be stored in tanks whereas natural gas gets produced and sent right into the supply chain. The recent debacle in the south (Texas/Okla/La/etc) caused an unusual situation with regards to fuels. This is more likely the cause for any unusual hike in propane pricing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Because Mexico gets so much of its propane from the U.S. and there was a recent supply disruption due to weather there there has been a bump in prices. Will that go back down in a few months? Maybe at least some. Of course if Mexico ended the Pemex monopoly on petro energy they might not have to import over half their propane... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 The one that most people have is 300 litres but it is usually never filled past 85%. My tank is 180 litres (I wanted the space and the old tank was 20 years old). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 My tank is 500 Liters and yes it is never filled past 85%. I tell the Zeta guys just how many Liters I want delivered when they arrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of the capacity, they're the common size most houses have. There is no "normal" size. There are different sizes. Your question is like asking "how much does it cost to fill a normal car gas tank.. the size most cars have" I have a 170 liter tank. One neighbor has a 300 liter tank the other neighbor has a 500 liter tank. I am sure there are other sizes.... no "normal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
